What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a very natural and normal response to real or perceived threats and stress.

However, daily functioning can be impacted when feelings of worry, fear, or nervousness become persistent and overwhelming. High levels of anxiety impact mental, emotional, and physical well-being. If anxiety is impacting your performance at work, relationships, happiness, or overall quality of life, it may be time to seek professional help.

Common Causes of Anxiety

Anxiety can arise from a variety of factors, often driven by a complex mix of psychological, genetic, and environmental influences including:

  • Stress related to work pressure, financial concerns, or relationship difficulties can contribute to persistent anxiety.

  • Unresolved trauma, including childhood experiences or significant life events, can trigger anxiety disorders.

  • A family that has a history of mental health conditions, especially anxiety, increases a person's risk of also developing anxiety.

  • Heightened anxiety levels may be due to neurotransmitter imbalances (e.g., serotonin, dopamine, and GABA).

  • A person may be more prone to anxiety if they struggle with Perfectionism, People-Pleasing tendencies, and/or a need for control.

  • Chronic illnesses, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications may also play a role in anxiety symptoms.

  • Substance use can worsen anxiety by disrupting brain chemistry, increasing physical symptoms like a racing heart, and creating dependency that heightens stress. While some may use substances to cope, this can ultimately make anxiety harder to manage, reinforcing a cycle of distress.

Common Anxiety Symptoms

Anxiety can affect both the mind and body. This can lead to various cognitive, emotional, and physical symptoms. Common signs of anxiety include:

  • This involves uncontrollable thoughts (ruminations) about the present, future, or worst-case scenarios.

  • This often involves anxiety or worry that causes unease in your body, inability to relax, or sit still.

  • Anxiety can cause you to feel drained or exhausted, even without physical exertion.

  • Anxiety can impact your ability to focus or result in a mind filled with anxious thoughts.

  • People experiencing anxiety may notice an increase in frustration or sensitivity to stress.

  • Anxiety often impacts sleep. People often note trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless nights.

  • Anxiety frequently causes physical symptoms such as:

    • Rapid heartbeat

    • Muscle tension

    • Dizziness

    • Shortness of breath

    • Nausea

    • Stomach discomfort

Anxiety Treatment Approaches

Several evidence-based therapies and practices are highly effective when it comes to treating anxiety, whether online or in-person. Alexis Verbin, LCSW, LICSW at Wellcore Healing uses a specialized integrative approach that combines:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps identify and reframe negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

This therapeutic approach teaches you how to sit with discomfort and live in alignment with your values, thus reducing your anxiety.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Increases awareness of the present moment, reducing racing thoughts and overwhelm.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Helps explore different inner parts of you that may be carrying anxiety or self-doubt.

Online Anxiety Therapy at Wellcore Healing is designed specifically for high-performing women who want practical tools to manage anxiety and reclaim peace in their everyday lives.

Exposure Therapy

This anxiety treatment involves gradually and safely confronting feared situations, thoughts, or sensations. By doing so in a controlled and supportive way, individuals can reduce avoidance behaviors and retrain their brain to respond with less fear over time.

Positive Psychology

Positive psychology helps treat anxiety by shifting focus towards positives, such as strengths, gratitude, and what’s going well. This approach serves to help counterbalance the brain’s natural negativity bias.

Types of Anxiety Treated + Online Therapy Benefits

Online Anxiety Therapy at Wellcore Healing is designed specifically for high-performing women who want practical tools to manage anxiety and reclaim peace in their everyday lives. Alexis Verbin, LCSW, LICSW specializes in treating the following types of anxiety:

  • Constant worrying, overthinking, and difficulty relaxing—even when everything seems “fine.” GAD involves persistent worry about everyday responsibilities like work, relationships, or health. You may be “on-edge,” struggle with physical symptoms (e.g., racing heart, muscle tension, stomach aches), feel fatigued, or have a hard time sleeping.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Generalized Anxiety

    Chronic worry can take a toll, especially for women who feel the pressure to always keep it together. I can help you break the cycle of persistent anxiety by utilizing CBT, ACT, IFS, Exposure and Mindfulness treatment approaches. We will work together to teach you strategies to calm your mind and reclaim peace in your daily life.

  • Deep fear of judgment or rejection—even when others see you as confident. You might dread social events, replay conversations in your head, or worry you’ll embarrass yourself in public or professional settings. You might overanalyze conversations, fear public speaking, dread networking events, or avoid social gatherings altogether.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Social Anxiety

    Even the most capable women struggle with fear of judgment and rejection. Through treatment modalities like CBT, ACT, Exposure, and Mindfulness, I can help you overcome social anxiety by building self-trust, developing grounding techniques, and practicing authentic self-expression.

  • Burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling like you're always “on.” Chronic stress can build over time and quietly turn into Anxiety. It may be linked to high workloads, life transitions, burnout, caregiving, or the pressure to meet high standards. Symptoms often include irritability, restlessness, sleep disturbances, racing thoughts, and difficulty managing responsibilities. Many high-performing professionals and women working in male-dominated fields don’t recognize this as anxiety, because they’ve become so used to operating in overdrive.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Stress-Related Anxiety

    If you’re juggling too many roles and struggling to keep up, I can help you slow down without compromising your ambition or values through the use of ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness. I work with high-achievers to manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate resilience in both personal and professional settings.

  • Persistent fear something is wrong with your health—even when tests say otherwise. You might constantly Google symptoms (also known as “cyberchondria”), seek repeated reassurance at doctor visits, or feel stuck in worst-case thinking. For high-performing women, it often stems from a need for "control,” which includes physical health.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Medical Anxiety

    I support women in calming health-related fears, understanding their body’s responses, and building trust in their internal wisdom through CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I provide guidance in navigating thoughts pertaining to health, while teaching you to ground in evidence-based coping strategies and emotional regulation.

  • Money worries that keep you up at night, even if you’re financially stable. Financial Anxiety can show up as fear of not doing enough, guilt about spending, or pressure to maintain success. I work with clients to shift scarcity mindsets, reduce financial shame, and create a more empowered relationship with money.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Financial Anxiety & Stress

    For ambitious women managing careers, households, or businesses, financial stress can feel like a constant weight. Therapy provides a safe space to unpack money-related anxiety. Through CBT, ACT, IFS, and Mindfulness, we will work together to help you shift scarcity mindsets, reduce financial shame, and create a more empowered relationship with money.

  • Feeling worried to "perform" in front of others or fear that comes with being "evaluated." Whether you're leading meetings, giving presentations, or pushing toward big goals, performance anxiety can create inner chaos. This type of anxiety can show up in the work setting , academics, sports, or any other place where you may be “on display.” It can involve internal self-criticism, fear of failure, and physical symptoms before high-stakes situations.

    Benefits of Performance Anxiety Therapy

    Through CBT, ACT, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness, I can help you manage self-doubt, calm your nervous system, and perform with increased confidence.

  • Overanalyzing, fearing rejection, or struggling to feel secure in your relationships. You might question your relationship constantly, fear abandonment, or avoid vulnerability. High-achieving women may find it hard to balance their independence with vulnerability, leading to inner conflict and emotional distress.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Relationship Anxiety

    I help clients navigate attachment patterns, develop secure connections, and build healthy emotional boundaries in love and friendships.

  • Unresolved trauma, including childhood experiences or significant life events, can trigger anxiety disorders.

    Benefits of Attending Online Therapy for Panic Disorder

    I support high-performing women in understanding their panic triggers and learning practical evidence-based tools to reduce symptoms and regain confidence and control.

Online Anxiety Therapy Overview & Anxiety FAQs

  • Absolutely! Research demonstrates that online therapy, which includes online anxiety therapy, is just as helpful in reducing anxiety symptoms as in-person therapy.

    Anxiety therapy using telehealth is perfect for busy hardworking professionals, business owners, executives, parents, or anyone seeking convenience.

  • When choosing a therapist for anxiety it’s essential to find someone who not only has the right credentials but also understands your lifestyle and goals. Look for:

    • Specialization in anxiety as well as the concerns you're facing (e.g., imposter syndrome, burnout, perfectionism)

    • Experience with high-achieving women, leaders, business owners, women working in male-dominated fields.

    • Training in evidence-based modalities like CBT

    • Experience providing therapy online, especially for individuals navigating anxiety.

    • Offers a free consultation before starting so you can ask any questions that might come up for you. Most importantly, you will get a feel for whether there is a good connection to start building rapport.

    • A collaborative, empowering style that makes you feel safe, seen, and supported

    Your therapeutic relationship is one of the biggest predictors of success in therapy—trust your gut when deciding who feels like the right fit.

  • Yes—feeling nervous about starting therapy for anxiety is completely normal. For many high-achieving women, asking for help can feel vulnerable or unfamiliar. You might worry about what to say, how you’ll be perceived, or whether your problems are “big enough” for anxiety treatment. It is important to know that taking that first step is a powerful act of self-care, and you deserve support just like everyone else.

    You might also wonder if it is normal to feel nervous about attending therapy for anxiety online rather than in person. The answer to that is also Yes! It is not uncommon to worry if virtual appointments will feel personal enough or whether you can form a connection with your therapist through a screen. This fear especially rings true for individuals trying counseling for the first time. The truth is online treatment offers the same benefits as in-person treatment, with added flexibility and comfort. As someone who worked as an in-person clinician (2010-2020) and then a remote private practice therapist (2020-present), I have been able to experience the benefits of both approaches. It has been rewarding to see just how effective virtual counseling is for anxiety.

    Whether this is your first time trying online anxiety therapy or you are a veteran, Wellcore Healing is dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming virtual environment where you don’t have to have it all "figured out." We’ll move at your pace, explore your personalized therapy goals, and make sure you feel supported from the start.

  • Everyone is unique, but many clients start to notice positive changes within a few sessions.

    The more committed a person is to practicing the anxiety therapy tools and techniques outside of the counseling session, often the faster a person will experience a healthy shift.

  • The length of virtual anxiety therapy varies from person to person, especially when considering unique needs, goals, and the severity of symptoms. For some high-achieving women experiencing situational stress or mild anxiety, therapy may last just a few months. For others dealing with chronic anxiety or underlying patterns like perfectionism or imposter syndrome, therapy may extend longer.

    Most clients begin to see meaningful changes within 8–12 sessions, especially when engaging in weekly therapy and practicing skills between sessions. Treatment will always be tailored to your specific goals, ensuring you receive the support you need—whether short-term or ongoing.

  • Self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism are deeply connected to anxiety. The end result is a constant, unforgiving cycle of self-doubt, pressure, and fear of failure. Here’s how each one contributes to anxiety:

    • Low Self-Esteem & Anxiety: When you struggle with low self-worth or low self-esteem or never feel "enough," it’s easy to second-guess yourself in various social, professional, or personal situations. This can cause higher levels of worry and anxiety, especially in high-pressure moments that require confidence, decision-making, or vulnerability.

    • Imposter Syndrome & Anxiety: The constant fear of being “found out” or, as others describe it, not measuring up creates ongoing stress. Even in moments of success, imposter syndrome makes it hard to relax or enjoy your achievements, keeping you in a state of worry about whether you truly belong.

    • Perfectionism& Anxiety: Perfectionism sets the most impossible standard, the idea that one must do everything "perfectly." You will likely feel overwhelmed and upset even if you make a small mistake. This type of thinking constantly sets you up for failure, as perfection can never be attained. The pressure to always get things "just right" can create intense anxiety, leading to procrastination, avoidance, or burnout from overworking.

    Together, these patterns reinforce one another—low self-esteem makes imposter syndrome more likely, imposter syndrome fuels perfectionism, and perfectionism increases anxiety. The good news? Therapy can help you break this cycle, build self-compassion, and develop healthier ways to handle challenges without the constant weight of anxiety.

  • Unchecked anxiety can lead to long-term health consequences, including insomnia, emotional exhaustion, and physical ailments. Attending therapy online for anxiety can help high-achieving women learn to identify early signs of burnout and implement healthy coping strategies proactively.

  • Therapy provides a wonderful opportunity to address the mind-body connection.

    During treatment, you will learn tools and participate in activities that not only quiet the mind but calm the body. Some examples include: Grounding techniques, Mindfulness, Meditation, Visualization, Techniques, Diaphragmatic Breathing.
